Buying a Buoy: Important Terminology When choosing a Sealite buoy, it is important to understand exactly what size and type will suit your particular application. Sealite strives to provide straightforward terminology to assist you in your selection. Here’s what you need to know, and why it’s important.
Term Explanation
Overall Height Total buoy height, including any external counterweight.
Height of the buoy above the water line in a typical installation. Freeboard may Nominal Freeboard vary slightly due to differences in water density, mooring load, and current speed.
Length of the buoy that is under water. Like Freeboard, draft can vary due to Nominal Draft particular installations.
Visible area of a buoy, calculated from freeboard and the diameter of the buoy. Visual Area (or Exposure) Visual Area is a key measure of the visibility of a buoy to mariners.
Submergence Amount of weight necessary to sink a buoy one inch (or centimeter). 8 Maximum weight of the mooring load for a buoy to still achieve Nominal Maximum Mooring Load Freeboard.
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Wall Thickness Thickness of the rotationally molded plastic wall.
G Overall width of the buoy. May be more than one [diameter] if float collar type of Diameter buoy.
Reserve Buoyancy Amount of product weight and the required buoyancy required to keep it afloat.

Additional Considerations for Mooring and Cable Selections: • Is the barrier system being installed where floating debris may drag the floats or cable? • Will seasonal conditions (flood, ice) affect the length or mooring loads required? • Are wind loads going to be an occasional or constant factor at the installation site?
Mooring systems should exceed the breaking strength of the selected cable.

The result is a more stable dock platform to walk on with more gentle float motion • Black elastic rodes (made from UV inhibited cast polyurethane) E E Mooring System • Up to 15 years service life Galvanized hardware to • 2-year warranty A attach mooring to block

The rotationally molded spar buoy designed for the Elastic Conservation Mooring Solution is durable enough to stay in the water year round, even in ice!
Dock installation (right): A more stable dock system results from the constantly taut mooring elastics while protecting the fragile sea/lake/river bed.
